Trained Entry Level Personnel Testing

Written, Physical Agility and Psychological Testing

Written Tests

These tests assume prior knowledge, training, and/or certification in the
field. These candidates are new Police or Fire Academy graduates, new
EMTs, transfers-in from other agencies, volunteers, auxiliaries, or others with
experience in the field. This test will look for command of the basic
Academy Entry Level knowledge of topics such as arrest procedures, ropes
and knots, ground ladders, vehicle extrication, hazmat incidents, DUI law, etc.

Customers may specify which textbook(s) questions shall be drawn from,
typically one of the prominent publishers' basic, mainstream, police or fire
academy books or EMT texts at the First Responder, EMT-B, EMT-I,
EMT-C, or Paramedic level.

Customers may specify length of test, and whether to include or exclude any
particular chapters. They may also mix and match, such as 75% from The
Essentials of Firefighting, and 25% from Brady's Emergency Care.

Physical Agility

recommend contacting the International Association of Fire Fighters
for information on their program, equipment, and requirements.
Alternately, many jurisdictions develop and administer this type of testing in-house.
